Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
A likeable Miami police forensics expert moonlights as a serial killer of criminals who he believes have escaped justice.
Product Description
The explosively popular Dexter is back with a vengeance for a sixth season of startling suspense and unexpected twists. It's been a year since last season's shocking and heartbreaking conclusion, and mild mannered criminologist-cum-grisly serial killer Dexter Morgan has come to terms with who he is. But his existence is shattered when he crosses paths with an enemy unlike any he's faced before. A delusional religious zealot with unflinching convictions, this new adversary soon draws Dexter into a dangerous game that could well end in disaster.

My husband and I are both huge fans of Dexter. We pre-ordered the DVDs for this season as soon as we were able.
Unfortunately, we were not able to enjoy this season. When you insert each of the 4 DVDs in this box set, you are forced to watch a 2 minute ad for Showtime. You are not able to skip the ad on any of the DVDs, and are forced to sit through it as it displays a number of Showtime shows. It even includes an ad for the sixth season of Dexter...
The ad for Dexter is only about 6 seconds long. Interestingly, the marketing team at Showtime thought it would be nice to show THE LAST SIX SECONDS OF THE SEASON YOU'RE ABOUT TO WATCH! It ruined the entire season before we even got a chance to watch it. I have sent a letter to Showtime iterating this blatant oversight. I will update this review if/when I receive a response from them.
Update 9/2:
I received a response from Showtime. They thanked me for informing them of the error, but did not apologize. They then said that Showtime is not responsible for DVDs, and that I should contact Paramount. They did not provide contact information.
I found a contact for customer relations at Paramount, and sent an email to them. I didn't hear anything for a few days, so I emailed them again. At this point, they forwarded my email to the VP of legal and customer relations.
He responded immediately and asked for a good time to have a conversation over the phone. He was very apologetic about the situation. He informed me that Paramount is not in fact responsible for the content of the DVDs, and that they just manufacture them. The actual content, including the promotions, are provided to them by Showtime. So it was incorrect of Showtime to forward my comments to Paramount. He said that he couldn't offer me a refund, but said if I wanted to pick another Showtime or Paramount TV show, he would be happy to send me a complementary season on DVD. Within a few days, I received a copy of the latest season of CSI on DVD.
While speaking on the phone, he also mentioned that Showtime has been, and is still showing the offending promotion in other places beside the DVDs. Apparently it's been showing for several months. He mentioned that now that there have been so many complaints, they're trying to pull it from circulation. He said that there has also been talk of a second run of the DVDs without the promotional material, but that they have not received the content from Showtime yet.
Overall, I'm extremely disappointed in Showtime's obvious attempt to pass the buck. After ruining the show for countless fans, they not only refuse to apologize, but they refuse to even take responsibility for this whole fiasco. On the other hand, I'm very impressed with Paramount's response to the situation. Despite not being directly responsible for the content of the DVDs, I am happy that they apologized, and did what they could to make amends. As a result, I'm adding one star to the review.

I loved this 6th season of Dexter, but who is the IDIOT, the MORON that decide to put all the Showtime ads on the front of each disc that you CAN NOT escape out of, you CAN NOT skip through, you CAN NOT FAST FORWARD through that you are forced to watch in order to get to the main menu and then to include in that montage quite LITERALLY the LAST shot of the final episode of Dexter's 6th season. HOW STUPID ARE YOU?!!!

This is probably the best season of dexter I've watched besides season 4. The storylines are varied and it felt very fresh. I would recommend anyone that's a fan watch this season. With that being said, don't buy this product.
The only problem is that showtime decided to spoil the ending to the season in the unskippable preview at the start of the DVD. How anyone with a brain decided this was a good plan is beyond me. The only logical conclusion is that no one at showtime possesses any brain whatsoever.
Here's a note about your fans, Showtime. Not all of them subscribe to your channel. So, putting the finale in the preview of the content I *just* bought along with other shows they may or may not care about and making it unskippable is beyond stupid.
I should've read the reviews, since many people seem to have noticed this as well. But, I didn't think I needed to since I was already convinced I was going to buy this product.
I won't be buying any more of these products. Six stars for the season, one star for this release of it.
I'll find other means to watch this show in the future. You've lost a paying fan.
